…on the topic of WBAI. WBAI is a hotbed of racial accusations of
the most debased and depressing sort. Supporters of the current
management team call almost anyone who criticizes them “racist.” And
even though much of what he writes is right, Steve Brown has harmed
the cause of reviving the station by saying racially inflammatory
things that make it all too easy for management apologists to make
the charges stick. The opposition to the so-called “Justice and
Unity” slate http://justiceandunity.org/ is, alas, almost entirely
white. It’s very hard to take sides in this. Meanwhile, the current
fundraiser - scheduled to last 24 days, the longest I remember in the
18 years I’ve been around the station - is limping along, at about
25% short of its goal. Sad.
